Shiv on Learning

I shall be at three educational conferences in March, one online and two in London. I’ll be presenting on moving away form course and class models of learning, work we’ve done with the military and debating if student and staff mobility is still necessary. If your going to be at any of them let me know.

GOING GLOBAL 4 (British Council)

24 - 26 March 2010, London

“This year’s conference theme is WORLD POTENTIAL: MAKING EDUCATION MEET THE CHALLENGE.

In the face of the worst recession in decades countries are increasingly becoming isolationist. If so, what are the implications for international education? How is the global mobility of staff and students being affected and what should they do? And how does it impact the sharing of knowledge and ideas worldwide? Is the vision of a truly international education system under threat?”
